Southern Soul looks good. But, what was the deal with the story about GA Pig becoming a gas station ? ... I thought it was supposed to become a gas station? Will it become both a gas station and a BBQ joint all-in-one? Also, when is Southern Soul supposed to open at that location?

They say 1st of April they will be opening, The pulled pork is great esp with the SC mustard sauce or red wine swine vinegar sauce. The ribs are not as sweet as they would seem watching this clip. At the original store every friday they smoke prime rib which is excellent I do not know if they will do that at the new location or not.

I can personally say that I have never ever been a fan of Georgia Pig. It was not because of the food but several years ago, I stopped by there with a colleague that was a black female. It was immediately apparent that we were not welcome. We bought a BBQ sandwich and left very quickly. At that time it was apparent that they were very racial. We have never returned even though we have driven by there many times on business. Their attitude may have changed but that attitude will always remain in our memory.

I'm not sure it was a racial thing. I'm white, and I found them to be fairly grumpy and gruff, and not very hospitable to me, either. I have been there 4 or 5 times, and it was similar for each visit. It might just be the way they are.

Glenn, the site is not large enough for a dual use & Harrison & Griff have said they are expected to up & running next month. I was in SSBBQ for lunch today, but neither Harrison or Griff were in to get the word from the horse's mouth, but none of the information from them indicates a gas station just that they are taking over from the Pig's owners.

Glenn, in our post about GA Pig we only relayed what we heard from a reader: that they lost their lease and it was becoming a gas station. We have no idea where the reader got the info about the gas station.

Not a problem. Sometimes you have to go with the info you have. Glad to hear it turned out differently. I'll miss the GA pig, despite the grumpy service. I loved their grill-pressed pork sandwiches. But, it sounds like the replacement is fairly promising. That'll ease the pain of the GA Pig closing. I'll be coming through there on April 13, so the new place should be open by then. Looking forward to trying it out.
